Definitions
- LEDs are mounted on laminated printed circuit boards. Some are mounted on special metal back or ceramic printed circuit boards in an attempt to conduct heat away from the LED.
- the invention is generally directed to a lighting apparatus in which at least one LED is mounted to the top surface of a heat sink held within an outer casing that is thermally and electrically conductive, the LED having a first conductive member which is thermally and electrically directly connected to the heatsink without the use of a printed circuit board and a second electrically conductive member which is electrically isolated from the heatsink by an electrical insulating material held within the heatsink.
- the second electrically conductive member of the LED can be soldered to a terminal held within the electrical insulating material while the first electrically conductive member of the LED can also be soldered to the heat sink and the resulting heat sink assembly can be press fit into a tube or barrel (such as an aluminum flashlight barrel) or inserted into the tube or barrel and then removably retained by a mechanical means such as a nut threaded to the tube or barrel.
- the heatsink can be integrally formed with the tube or barrel.

- FIG. 18 is a comparison of the performance of four different heatsinking methods or systems.
- FIG. 2 curve is for the present invention and demonstrates superior performance with minimal drop off in lumens output over time.
- FIGS. 19A-B illustrate a process for manufacturing a heat sink assembly in accordance with the present invention in which solder S 1 and S 2 is used to solder pads of an LED 5 to a top surface of a heat sink 2 to form a heat sink assembly 200 .
- FIGS. 19 C-D illustrate a press fit step of inserting heat sink assembly 200 into a tube or barrel 1 .
- FIGS. 20A and 20B show variations on FIGS. 19C-D in which the heatsink and insulating core are installed in a metal tube or flashlight barrel having the following identified elements:
- the present invention utilizes a thermally and electrically conductive metal outer member, a heatsink.
- the interior of the heatsink, or core is an electrical insulating material that positions and electrically isolates a second electrically conductive member that extends out the end opposite from the LED to provide an electrical connection point.
- the top surface of this assembly provides a mounting surface for the LED.
- the anode or cathode side of the LED, and in some cases a dedicated thermal pad, is bonded to the top surface of the heatsink by soldering or some other thermally and electrically conductive method or material.
- the electrically opposite side of the LED package is bonded to the isolated second member. Power from an appropriate electrical circuit is applied to the heatsink and the isolated terminal to turn on the LED.
- FIGS. 1A through 11 depict variations on the design described above.
- the heatsink can be different shapes depending on the application.
- a heatsink can also support multiple LEDs in a variety of configurations; a circular array and a linear array are only two of many possibilities.
- Electronics with a suitable interconnect method can also be suspended in the insulating core. It is also possible in all cases to provide electrically insulating material that positions and electrically isolates two electrically conductive members that extend out the end opposite from the LED to provide electrical connection points. In these cases the cathode and anode LED pads are bonded to corresponding isolated pads and the LED thermal pad is bonded to the invention's heatsink surface.
- the improved heatsink method depicted in FIGS. 1A through 11 does not utilize a PC board for mounting the LED; instead, the LED is mounted directly to the metal surface of the heatsink. This method produces much improved heat transfer and a cooler operating, higher lumens LED, compared to PC board mounted LED designs.
- the present invention provides a direct efficient path to conduct heat away from an LED to ambient air outside of a flashlight or any other lighting device such as a headlamp, lantern or spotlight, as well as all types of area lighting that utilize high powered LEDs as a light source.
- Other heatsinking methods produce thermal paths that are interrupted by a large number of thermal junctions, some of which have poor thermal conductivity or high thermal resistance. Examples of prior art heatsinking methods are illustrated in FIGS. 12A through 13D .
- Unique to the present invention is the ability to solder the terminal and heatsink directly to the electrical and thermal pads of the LED. No thermal grease or adhesives are required.
- the equivalent heatsinking and electrical contact pads are on a PC board which results in more, less efficient, thermal junctions and longer, smaller cross section, thermal paths to ambient air.
- the use of thermal grease and adhesives in these less efficient designs helps heat transfer to some degree but not to the level of attaching the LED directly to the heatsink.
- the result of the much improved heat transfer possible with the invention is that the LED operates much cooler and therefore much more efficiently.
- Higher lumens are possible with no increase in power over conventional systems. It is also possible to maintain lumens at the same level as other less efficient systems but consume far less power. This is especially important in battery powered lighting systems as on-time is extended without reducing lumens.
- the superior performance of the present invention is demonstrated by the lumens output 60 seconds after applying a constant 4 amps of current to the LED. The invention was better than other systems as follows:
- FIGS. 2A-D produced 19 percent more lumens than the system in FIGS. 13A-D (typical star, metal backed PC board mounted LED);
- FIGS. 2A-D produced 93 percent more lumens than the system in FIGS. 12A-D (multi-layer conventional PC board with extra copper traces and vias to attempt to conduct heat away from the LED).
- the efficiency of the present invention can be increased or optimized, with the aid of the present disclosure, by increasing or maximizing the surface area exposure between the heatsink and the thermally and electrically conductive outer casing while also designing the heatsink to have a sufficient mass to effectively and efficiently conduct heat between the heatsink and the outer casing.
- heatsink 2 in FIGS. 2A-D will have better results than heatsink 2 of FIGS. 1A-D
- FIGS. 3A-D illustrate an embodiment in which the heatsink is integrally formed with the outer casing, which should result in better results than the heatsink of FIGS. 2A-D .
- outer casing which is illustrated in the exemplary embodiments depicted in FIGS. 1-11 as a tube or barrel, need not be thermally and electrically conductive over its entire outer surface, although an outer casing which is thermally and electrically conductive over its entire outer surface may achieve better results.
- the advantages obtained by the more efficient cooling of one or more LEDs obtained by the present invention can be used to create a flashlight mode use of increased lumens, or a flashlight mode with increased on-time, or one or more modes that alternate between such modes or combine elements of both such modes.
- a heat sink assembly 200 is created by soldering two electrically conductive members of an LED 5 to a top surface of heatsink 2 .
- Commercially available LEDs typically have three pads (see, e.g., FIG. 11D where second electrical connection 7 has one rectangular pad while thermal junction and first electrical connection between LED 5 and heatsink 2 have two rectangular pads) which can all be used for soldering (solder S 1 in FIG. 19A is for one pad whereas solder S 2 in FIG. 19A is for two pads).
- heat sink assembly 200 After heat sink assembly 200 is created, it can be press fit into a tube or barrel 1 as illustrated in FIGS. 19C and 19D or it can be removably inserted into tube or barrel 1 and then held in place by a removable holding mechanism, an example of which is nut 1 B illustrated in FIGS. 20A and 20B .
- tube or barrel 1 and heat sink 2 are made of aluminum
- heat sink 2 is coated with a metallic plating (e.g., nickel) that helps promote the soldering process
- a skin cut is made of the aluminum where heat sink 2 comes into contact with a top surface 1 AT of shoulder 1 A formed in tube or barrel 1 (so as to promote more efficient thermal heat transfer).
